Happy Towel Day!!! Don't forget to carry your towel with you everywhere (yes, everywhere) you go on May 25th. If you have a camera, snap a few photos of you and your towel, then share them with us on the "Towel Day Pictures" board. If you don't have a camera, just borrow one from a strag. After all, the strag will happily lend you, the hitchhiker, a camera or a dozen other items that you might accidentally have "lost". What the strag will think is that anyone who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still know where his towel is is clearly someone to be reckoned with.Click on the banner for instructions on how to put this banner on your web site or signature.

Topic: Dirk Gently BBC TV (Read 11844 times)

BBC is running a TV version of Dirk Gently starting Dec 16th, but it is on BBC Four & BBC HD, which unfortunately I don't get. I think they are not offered in the US. I am not even allowed to view the 2 minute preview - I get "Not available in your area"

Anyway, if anyone figures out how we can watch this, let us know.

Hmm, it could turn out to be rather good. I wish we could actually get it somehow.

". . . We realised we had been myopically shortsighted to think this thing was just an adding machine. . . . So we began to develop it as a super typewriter. With a long and increasingly incomprehensible feature list. Users of Microsoft Word will know what I'm talking about."

Yes, not really so much an adaptation of the book, just some of the concepts. But it is done with a good sense of humor so I enjoyed it. Supposedly there will be at least two more episodes, but I don't know when.
